Wheat Berry and Tuna (not!) Salad
This is an amazing salad with all kinds of goodness: mixed greens, tomato, onion, avocado, cucumber, hardboiled eggs, and wheat berries in a mustardy vinegarette! The wheat berries took an hour to cook! I left out the tuna because it sounded gross for this salad. Not to mention that you'd have to eat the whole thing rather quickly so it wouldn't spoil. A friend suggested that salmon would be nice and I agree--on the side. I made this salad for the July 4 cookout at my sister's; everyone loved it!
Next was Whole Cherry Clafoutis
Just as Dorie described--not quite a custard, not quite a cake. I used Oregon sour cherries canned in water. I would NOT use cherries with pits! Really? To what point? Anyway, it was a great chilled dessert, not too sweet.
Third was the Swordfish with Frilly Herb Salad
OMGosh! This was delish with fresh swordfish steaks. My sister joined us for this dinner delight.
The onion caper lemon au jus was fabulous. This dish had my sister wanting to cook this up from her yet unused copy of Around My French Table that I bought her in the hopes of getting her to join me in the weekly recipes (never happened, lol).
Last is Dieter's Tartine (pic coming) which I will cook on the last day of July...
Good for a hot summer day lunch. Crusty bread with lowfat cottage cheese, tomato, and cucumber though I may sub avocado for the cuke....hey, it's a healthy fat!
